On the highest echelon of 2D action, just an incredible game. Though it does take some time to really get onto its level and flow with what it's doing, when you get good at it it's very satisfying.
Playing this for the first time after playing through ZM/AM2R/Super/Fusion sequentially for the zillionth time and I feel like I've been hit by a train. The design of this game (mostly the combat) is going to take a lot of getting used to.
Took a bit less than I expected, the fights after you unlock the storm missile upgrade are extremely fun and engaging, having that upgrade allows fights to be a lot more fast and fluid.
Is that a good or a bad thing? Honestly not a fan of the 3D graphics, so I've been unmotivated to get this game, but I only played it for a bit at a friend's place.
I've played the game multiple times now so I'm used to the earlier boss fights and I'm pretty sure it's a bad thing. It's less that they're bad fights and more that the post-storm missile fights are just so much more fun that I wish more of the game was like that.
those minibosses are garbage, I like how the game makes you feel powerful for overcoming obstacles and finding things out on your own but that Wasn't It
it is interesting that MercurySteam worked on the two namesake metroidvania series; all of their Castlevania output was (imo) terrible, yet both their Metroid games are great.
